Chapter 22 Rejection

Mrs. Gu Tai caressed the string of beads in her hand, raised her hand and made a gesture to Li Ma.

Li Mammy approached Gu Yanfei with a smile on her face, intending to lead her down to settle down, when she heard Gu Yanfei spit out a few words:

"I don't want this marriage."

Her voice was neither light nor heavy, and her tone was very flat, but in the ears of other people, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and shocking eyes were cast on her.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Gu Tai was furious and scolded loudly, "Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker ordered by your parents, you are a girl's family."

She didn't have a good impression of Gu Yanfei. She felt that this girl was inferior to Gu Yunchang in everything, especially after visiting Danyang City this time, she was even more disliked.

During those few days in Danyang City, she had only seen Gu Yanfei twice. On the day she arrived and the day she left, she avoided greeting her for a few days in between, but deliberately kept her cold.

She saw that Gu Yanfei had been fairly safe these days, and nothing happened again. She thought she had learned well, but she didn't expect this girl to be a thorn.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified.

"Grandmother calm down and take care of yourself." Gu Yunchang's delicate voice was like a spring breeze blowing through the branches of a willow.

She caressed Mrs. Gu Tai's back and kept her spirits at ease, again and again.

After Mrs. Gu's breath eased a little, Gu Yunchang looked at Gu Yanfei again, her eyes were clear, and she persuaded euphemistically, "Second sister first came home, it is inevitable to feel uneasy, but filial piety comes first, grandmother is old , I have a headache. The doctor said that my grandmother can't be angry, and let us follow my grandmother in everything."

Gu Yunxiang persuaded Gu Yanfei with kindness.

In this Hou Mansion, Mrs. Gu Tai is heaven, and Gu Yanfei is a junior, and her fate is in the palm of Mrs. Gu Tai's palm. It is not good to be too stubborn.

Besides, the marriage between the Gu and Fang families originally belonged to Gu Feiyan, but now it's just "return to the original owner", each of which belongs to you.

Gu Yanfei chewed on Gu Yunxiang's remarks in his heart, and in a trance, distant memories came one after another.

In her last life, she never learned to say no, what Mrs. Tai said was what it was.

She obeyed the arrangement of the family and agreed to the marriage, but what did she get in return?

The British government said that she did not know the rules and had been lost in Danyang City for one night. They tore up the marriage contract and publicized it as an excuse, which made her difficult in the capital later.

At that time, Mrs. Gu Tai's own grandmother did not defend her, and even sent her to live in the nunnery for a year.

Later, the eldest brother was killed in battle, but was accused by Kang Wangguan of "good luck" and "courageous bravery". In order to distance himself from the eldest brother, Mrs. Gu not only did not help the eldest brother collect the corpse, but also removed the eldest brother from the clan.

Her father and brother galloped on the battlefield and made countless contributions to Dajingchao, but in the end they only ended up with no bones and infamy.

after that…

One by one, one by one, they were all unforgettable. These past events became the demons that haunted her for two hundred years, and were deeply engraved in her soul.

Gu Yanfei was in a trance for a while, and didn't speak for a while.

However, in Mrs. Gu Tai's eyes, her silence was a sign of resignation.

The arm can't reach the thigh, which is also a matter of course.

Mrs. Gu Tai's eyes flashed a gleam of light, and ordered: "Li Mammy, you go and teach the second girl good manners."

"Yes, Mrs. Li." Mammy Li hurriedly bowed her knees to lead the order.

Mrs. Gu Tai caressed her sleeves, and cast her eyes on Gu Yanfei again with a chilling winter-like gaze, and said, "Prepare well for the past few days, and don't talk nonsense when the British government arrives for a small time."

After a pause, Mrs. Gu added with a warning: "Don't be like last time..."

Every time she thinks of Gu Yanfei's nonsense at Fang Mingfeng saying that the marriage is over, Mrs. Gu Tai feels a throbbing pain in her temples.

She was only halfway through her words when Gu Yanfei stood up abruptly, her eyes were cold, distant and deep.

"Mrs. Tai, both my parents have died, and the Gu family has neither nurtured grace nor support for me, so why should you be my master?!" Gu Yanfei asked indifferently.

Mrs. Gu Tai was like a big white goose stuck around her neck, she froze, her face visibly sank, and her anger turned purple.

There was a suffocating silence in the room, and needles could be heard falling.

Mrs. Gu Tai was furious and slapped her palm on the coffee table, her face turning blue.

"Come here, get the family law!"

After a while, a woman with a big shoulders and a round waist respectfully brought the family law, which was a bamboo ring ruler one and a half inch wide, thick and heavy.

"Fight, teach me a good lesson for this unfilial descendant!"

Mrs. Gu Tai gave an order coldly, the old woman held a bamboo ring with a blank face and approached Gu Yanfei step by step,

The sleeping cat was awakened by Mrs. Tai's sharp voice, opened her blue eyes, and glanced at Mrs. Gu Tai and her mother-in-law, and roared unhappily:

"Meow!"

The milk cat's meow is soft and cute even if it is threatening and roaring.

Mrs. Gu Tai and the old woman were numb, they were scared out of cold sweat, their clothes were wet, and the old woman felt that the ring ruler in her hand was as heavy as Mount Tai.

Mrs. Gu Tai's mouth opened and closed, her throat was hard, the "hit" was already in her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

She raised her hand and pointed at Gu Yanfei, her hand was shaking, her eyes were full of horror and puzzlement.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted by someone brushing the ground, and a tall and straight figure strode in stride, full of dust.

"Stop!"

The visitor saw the ruler in the old woman's hand at a glance, and shouted coldly, his clear voice as sharp as a sword.

It was a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy with handsome eyebrows, wearing a slim blue brocade robe, and a black belt with flame embroidery around his thin waist, which made him look taller and taller. Jun, like green bamboo like pine tree.

A bunch of ponytails were tied high behind his head, and when he walked, the ponytail swayed slightly, and he was in high spirits.

"..." Gu Yanfei stared blankly at the blue-clothed boy, his eyes were slightly sour, and he didn't want to look away.

In this life, she returned to this cage-like Dingyuan Marquis Mansion not only to resolve her inner demons, but also to be able to see—

her eldest brother.

The milk cat, who was not fully asleep, yawned while looking at its owner. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he continued to sleep with his eyes closed and curled up into a three-colored fur ball.

In the next moment, Mrs. Gu Tai was shocked, and finally came back to her senses, and she felt a chill in her heart: The cat that Gu Yanfei picked up was very evil.

Her fingers squeezed the string of Buddha beads tightly, and she became calm, and asked unnaturally, "Brother Yuan, why are you back?"

The person who came was Gu Yuan, the eldest son of Gu's family room.

Mrs. Gu Tai did not expect that Gu Yuan would suddenly return to the house.

Gu Yuan has stayed in the camp all year round since he moved to the Xishan camp for a year. Usually, he can only return to the Houfu when he is in a hurry.

Half a year ago, when the truth about the real and fake daughter-in-law transfer package was revealed, Mrs. Gu Tai instructed all the houses to hide from Gu Yuan first, and said that she was afraid that he could not find his sister and let him down. , and then talk to Gu Yuan in detail.

This concealment has been concealed until now.
